Yes i did!

It's a beta driver with experimental features. I sure didn't expect it to just work on linux, and you probably wouldn't either

I am a PhD student, and my research involves a compiler for a functional language that generates high-performance GPU code. Many times have I regretted selecting a research field dependent on functioning GPU drivers on Linux.

Although modern Intel GPUs are pretty nice, seem to have even more horsepower than their attached CPUs, and the drivers tend to work well.

yeah I wasted a year of my PhD in 2012-2013 screwing around with gpgpu stuff on linux - the drivers were often a nightmare. i did find it odd that AMD's OpenCL stack got more performance out of the Intel CPU device than did Intel's own stack. who the gently caress knows. do the Intel drivers for linux allow access to the GPU device yet? we begged for that for years

Don't ask me, both partitions are ext4. :shrug: I thought it was the ssd being poo poo, but my second ssd with Windows on it starting freezing as well. Swapping PSUs fixed the problem.

No idea, but the free Beignet drivers provide access to the GPU device and are plenty fast and stable.

There is so much compute power here, this has to become mainstream somehow.

Yesterday i played dota 2 on my linux with fine graphics and zero input lag, and also streamed it to twitch.tv which added no performance hit either on cpu encoding or NVENC. looking back a few months streaming would add horrible input lag and grind computer to halt, also nvenc didnt work.

Gaming on Linux is ok, but honestly still buggy even on AAA titles. Some run well, like TF2. But... I had my first experience playing that game on Linux, and well, let's just say that it ran well, and it's the worst game I've ever had the misfortune of playing. I'll stick to crawl in CLI mode in a tty with framebuffer images on slackware.
